In the spring of last year, Hejian Wang Gao Xiaowan once went to the south, bought a lot of extremely precious heterogeneous maple trees and transplanted them to Gaofu, so in the late autumn of this year, when the hoarfrost was in full bloom, the courtyard was full of red leaves like fire, Spread straight along the upward stone steps, a thick layer, bright and pretty.From time to time, there are also some maple leaves dancing in the air, dyed with bright red in the air to create an almost extreme poignant beauty, as if silently paying homage to the dying autumn. At that time, the setting sun was like blood, dyeing the entire courtyard like a bright red sunset.In this dreamlike scene, the two sons of the Gao family are drinking tea and playing Shuanglu in the pavilion, and the Shangshuling Huluhengjia who often comes to watch the battle is watching from the sidelines.

From the point of view of the situation, Chang Gong was obviously at a disadvantage in this round. "Chang Gong, your third brother's horses are almost exhausted." Heng Jia reminded her gleefully. "Fox, can't you just say a few words less. You are a real gentleman who watches chess without talking, have you heard that?" Chang Gong glared at him angrily, and continued to roll the sapphire dice in his hand. Xiao Wan laughed, "Heng Jia, he's about to lose, and he's in a bad mood, so don't provoke him." "Who said I'm going to lose?" Chang Gong raised his eyebrows unconvinced, "It's mainly because this fox is always disturbing me, so I'm so out of standard."

"Fox, fox, you can call it easy, anyway, they even gave you twenty military sticks." Xiao Wan joked with a smile. Chang Gong snorted disapprovingly, but there was a hint of warmth in his heart. That——is the most loyal time for a fox. "Okay, then I won't talk." Heng Jia smiled slightly, and sure enough he didn't make a sound. Not long after, Chang Gong was defeated by Xiao Wan without any suspense.She stood up angrily, and said angrily, "Stop playing!" Chang Gong's chess skills have always been bad, and he would lose his temper whenever he lost a game, but only those closest to her know about this bad habit.At this time, Heng Jia said slowly, "Chang Gong, in fact, you only need to take that one step just now to change the situation." He said, pointing to one of the chess pieces.

"Then why didn't you say it earlier!" Chang Gong was even more angry when he saw that this was indeed the case. Heng Jia still kept that elegant smile, "Huh? Didn't you say that? You are a real gentleman when you watch chess and don't speak." "You—" Chang Gong rolled his eyes in anger, this fox... obviously did it on purpose! At this moment, Liu Min, Xiao Wan's attendant, hurried into the yard, and whispered something in his ear, Xiao Wan's face changed, and he got up immediately, "Chang Gong, Heng Jia, I There is something going on in my side mansion, I want to go there first, you guys go on playing."

"Third Brother, what's the matter? It's almost time for dinner..." Chang Gong couldn't help feeling a little worried when he saw his strange expression. "It's nothing, nothing," he smiled, "I'll go back as soon as I go." "What's wrong with the third brother... so anxious." Chang Gong looked at his leaving back in puzzlement. Heng Jia didn't speak, but there was a complicated expression in his eyes, and he always felt that there was something wrong. Until the evening, Xiao Wan still hadn't come back.The whole family began to get anxious, and when the eldest princess was about to send someone to find him, Liu Min rushed in in a panic, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said incoherently, "No, it's not good, my lord, my lord. He was imprisoned by the emperor!"

"Bang!" The cup in the eldest princess's hand fell to the ground and smashed into pieces.Cui Lan's complexion also changed drastically, and the little Zhengli who was beside him burst into tears... The Gao Mansion was in a mess... "How could the emperor put the third brother in prison so well? What's going on, you should explain it clearly!" Chang Gong pulled him up from the ground and asked anxiously. "Yes, it's like this. Today I saw some suspicious people outside the mansion, so I came to report to the prince, and the prince planned to go and have a look. Who knows..." His eyes turned red, "Who knows that once we arrive In the side mansion, I found that the place was already surrounded by the imperial guards. When the leader Zu Daren saw the prince, he immediately had him arrested, saying that it was... that it was... that the prince had the intention of treason..."

"Nonsense, how could my third brother rebel! How can you say that my third brother has rebellion without evidence!" Chang Gong was shocked when he heard the word rebellion... This is a must die sin!A dark atmosphere of extreme unease and panic permeated the air, carrying a heart-piercing cold wind, as if it was like a boundless curtain, tightly surrounding her, making it difficult to breathe, like the soul peeling off the body bit by bit . The Eldest Princess shook her body and almost fainted, and several maids quickly supported her.Cui Lan hugged the weeping little Zhengli tightly, her face was as pale as death, and her whole body was trembling like fallen leaves. She knew better than anyone else that if her husband had the intention of treason, then her son... must also be troubled. Escape to death.

"But, Zu, Lord Zu found out the Buddha Tooth Relic hidden by the Prince..." Liu Min cried. "Buddha's tooth relic?" Qi Guo has always respected Buddha, so Chang Gong also knows the preciousness of this treasure. The Buddha's tooth relic has always been something that emperors can only have.She couldn't help looking at Liu Min suspiciously, and repeated, "Third brother really hid the relic?" Seeing that Liu Min nodded affirmatively, her heart sank, and she blurted out, "Third brother is so confused!" In a short period of time, her mind turned, and she immediately asked, "But Even if I hid the relics privately, it still doesn't prove that my third brother wants to rebel!"

"Of course you can't rely on this alone, but," Liu Min showed an expression of unbelievable horror, "In addition, Master Zu also found many weapons in the prince's private possession!" "What!" Chang Gong's face turned pale in an instant, and he felt a hand reaching into her chest, grabbing the split half of her heart, tearing out flesh and blood.That blow was as fast as lightning, she didn't feel any pain, but her heart was empty and the world was pitch black.My mind went blank, and I murmured and repeated, "Impossible, how is this possible..."

The eldest princess had come to her senses at this moment, she shed tears after calling Xiao Wan's name softly, Cui Lan seemed to have lost her soul, but she just hugged Zhengli tightly with her eyes straight. "Third Uncle, I want Daddy..." Xiaoyun grabbed her sleeves and wept, sobbing... The whole Gaofu was suddenly shrouded in a gloomy mist. Seeing this scene, Chang Gong's heart was pierced even more, he could only suppress his panic, and tried his best to calm himself down.Now in the Gao family, she is the only "man" in their eyes, she is their only hope, she must be calm.She doesn't have time to stay here in a daze anymore, she should go to Uncle Jiu and ask him to understand!

"Xiaoyun, I'm going to the palace right now, and I will definitely bring your father back." Without thinking about it, she turned around and rushed to the stable, took the flying horse and rushed to the palace! Along the way, Chang Gong kept waving his whip, urging Fei Guang to run faster, faster.The wind kept blowing past her ears, and the piercing sound kept shaking her eardrums. The autumn rain is continuous and the wind is bleak.The sky was vast and chaotic, as if she was the only one left in the world. Why is this situation so familiar, as if it has been a similar experience for a long time. By the way, it seems that when Gao Yang was still alive, when she heard the news that her third brother was imprisoned by Gao Yang, she also rode wildly in the wind like this. At that time, without Uncle Jiu, she really didn't know what to do. What should I do... But why this time, the character originally belonged to Gao Yang was replaced by Uncle Jiu... There must be a misunderstanding, it must be... Inside Zhaoyang Hall, the candles were dimly lit.There are white chrysanthemums blooming outside the hall. The thick petals are white and crystal clear, with dew at night, and a faint fragrance floats in the wind.As soon as Chang Gong arrived in front of the hall, he was stopped by Wang Ge, saying that the emperor had rested and no one wanted to see him.How could she listen to him, she pushed him away and wanted to force his way in, so Wang Ge had no choice but to hug her leg tightly to prevent her from breaking in. Chang Gong didn't expect him to make such a move, and he couldn't cut him with a sword, so he shouted at Gao Zhan's room, "Uncle Jiu, I know you're not asleep! Why didn't you see me!" "Prince Lanling, you are so brave to startle the emperor!" Wang Ge whispered angrily. When the two sides were deadlocked, Gao Zhan's helpless voice came from inside, "Chang Gong, come in." Chang Gong glared at Wang Ge, then walked in. As she expected, Gao Zhan not only didn't sleep, but also painted ink painting leisurely. From her perspective, she just saw the perfect outline of his side, and it was like a painter carefully drawn it under the candlelight. Generally beautiful. "Uncle Jiu, you should also know why I came here! Yes, my third brother hid the relic privately. He is really confused, but he will never have any intention of treason, let alone hidden weapons. Even The weapons were found, and it is possible that someone else set the blame on him, He Shikai and Zu Ting were originally in the same group, and they always disliked the third brother, I think these treacherous ministers took advantage of this to harm my third brother!" Chang Gong stepped forward Two steps, straight to the point and said. Gao Zhan made a heavy stroke, and sighed lightly, "Chang Gong, you still can't change your impatience. Of course, I have thought about what you said, but it is true that so many weapons are from Xiaowan's. It was found in the mansion. As the king of a country, I have to do some appearance work, so I temporarily put Xiao Wan in prison. During this time, I will personally send someone to investigate this matter clearly. Xiao Wan Wan is safe in prison, no one will dare to touch him." Hearing what he said, Chang Gong calmed down a little, but still asked uncertainly, "But the third brother hid the Buddha's tooth relic..." "If it's just about hiding the relic, I will revoke his title." He raised his eyes, and there seemed to be something surging in his brown eyes, "Chang Gong, I always remember your wish. So, I Will save his life." "Uncle Ninth..." A sour feeling permeated her eyes lightly, making her unable to utter any more sounds at once.She doesn't care about the rest, as long as the third brother is alive! "Okay, it's getting late, you should go back quickly." There was a trace of tenderness in the depths of his cold eyes, "I was afraid that you would be impulsive, and I wanted to call you after I found out. Who would have thought that you, an unruly child, dared to barge in, if it were someone else, I don't know how many heads would be lost." "I..." Chang Gong lowered his head with some excuses, then raised his head suddenly, "Uncle Jiu, can I go see Third Brother tomorrow?" Gao Zhan pursed his lips and shook his head, "It's best not to see him during this time. I don't want you to have anything to do with this matter." A look of disapproval appeared on Chang Gong's face, "I don't care, I'm his younger brother, and it's only natural for me to have a relationship with him." His expression became a little gloomy, "Chang Gong, I said I wouldn't hurt him in the slightest. Don't you believe me?" "I believe it, but I want to see him too." She looked directly at him, with no sign of retreat in her bright eyes. His face darkened, and he said lightly, "It's up to you." "Thank you, Uncle Jiu. I... will go back first." Hearing the sound of her footsteps fade away, the brush in his hand shook slightly, a drop of ink dripped on the cooked rice paper, and the dispersed ink turned into a dark gray, just like his mood at the moment.
Early the next morning, Chang Gong first went to visit Xiao Wan in the cell, he was in good spirits, but he seemed in a bad mood because he was too angry.Because of the private possession of relics, Chang Gong couldn't help scolding him for being confused, and then asked the ins and outs of the matter in detail, and went directly to the court after he had a clear mind. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the main hall, Chang Gong felt a strange atmosphere.In the past, those officials who were courteous to her as soon as they saw her, saw her today as if they were avoiding the plague, and they were afraid of avoiding her.Chang Gong just smiled indifferently. She understood what these people were thinking. Wang Hejian had just been charged with treason, and no one knew how serious the crime of treason was. Aren't you getting involved with the rebels? She glanced not far away, and suddenly saw a familiar figure.Heng Jia was chatting with several colleagues under the tree, still smiling like a spring breeze, with a gentle manner.The moment he looked up, he clearly saw her, but, as if he didn't see anything, he quickly turned his head sideways, without even giving her a comforting look. She felt cold, and bent the corners of her mouth in a self-deprecating manner. Didn't the fox say that the most important person is himself.So, now he, like those people, has drawn a clear line with her. Although she didn't think it was surprising, for some reason, she still felt an indescribable loss in her heart...even, an inexplicable annoyance arose spontaneously. When she was facing down, she habitually walked in the direction of Heng Jia. After walking a few steps, she suddenly remembered his indifferent expression just now, so she stopped quickly.This cannot be blamed on her, she always goes in and out with Heng Jia when she usually goes to court, and it has become a habit at some point. She saw that the corner of Heng Jia's eyes seemed to twitch slightly, and then she rolled up an elegant smile, passed her side naturally, walked straight to another colleague, and walked away chatting and laughing together go out. She stood there without moving, with a strange depression expanding in her heart, which she had never felt before. Is it because I'm used to it all. Therefore, if you change, you will not get used to it. That's all.
